A dream come true!

Years ago, I heard a song on the radio that made me feel so happy I HAD to find out who the artist was. At first I thought it was Buffy St. Marie, but later learned that it was Melanie. I loved her music so much I set out to learn all I could about her. She put into words everything I believed in, in a way that I never could. I got out my guitar and made it my business to learn every note of every song and sang my heart out - for years.Last night, not only did I have a fourth row seat to watch Melanie perform with her son, Beau Jarred, I got to meet her as she signed my CD. I was in awe. At sixty-nine years old, she continues to perform with all her heart. She could have sung off key for all I cared - she was Melanie, and she was only a few feet from me!It didn't sound like an audience of baby-boomers, no sir. My petite sister can whistle as loud as any man. Men sporting white pony-tails held up their battery-operated candles for "Candles in the Rain" and we all sang back-up. It was a blast! A night to remember.

This is a place where the sun shines whenever I want it to, the rains may fall and the winds may blow. This is a place where I am anything I want to be and everything is beautiful ~ or not. This is my place and it's all up to me. Sometimes, it's even about me.

This is also the place I'll keep you up to date on how many people I kill. And, it is this place where all are welcome for discussions about popular authors (or, unpopular authors), books, movies and the arts.

So, welcome. I look forward to meeting many of you through this medium.
